Change comes quickly to southernmost city

Report given by Xi Jinping bolsters people's hopes for lasting prosperity

Thirty-year-old Feng Yibing, the third generation of a fishing family on Yongxing Island - the seat of Sansha, China's southernmost city - said he is sure of a brighter future after listening to General Secretary Xi Jinping's report to the 19th CPC National Congress on Wednesday.

"Xi said China will accelerate its development as a marine country, and I believe this will create more opportunities for us to develop ourselves and enjoy a better life while making a contribution to the country," said Feng, who changed his job from fisherman to port worker.
